To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JACOB H. HEISSER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and usefullmprovementsin Envelopes for Sample- Bags; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The special object of the invention is to make a convenient sample envelope for sending specimens of flour, feed, and cereals generally which shall be in conformity with the conditions prescribed by the Universal Postal Union.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a perspective view of the sample envelope ready for use; Fig. 2 a vertical section thereof, on the dotted line w w of Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 a detail view of an inside sample bag or holder; Fig. 4: a plan View of the bag ready for mailing and Fig. 5 a detail of the fold which makes a square in envelope.

In the drawings A represents my envelope for the sample holder, the same being formed of muslin or equivalent fabric lined on the inside with paper, preferably blue but of any desired color. The open end is first folded on right-angled lines to forma square, as shown in Fig. 5 of the drawings then diagonally in the plane of the bag to make an angular lap on each side of equal size, as shown in Figs.

fold the sides and bottom of the largest strip 0 over the sides and bottom of the strip 0 and cement them fast together. c isacross-strip which I paste at each end to the strip a, while the overlap of the sides of strip a is pasted down over the ends of strip 0 I.

then fold two equal right-angled pieces 0 0 down at the open end, then make another fold c entirely across the bag and secure'the open end in the pocket made by the cross-strip c on the bagstrip c.

What I claim as new, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is

An export sample envelope folding to form a square closure over the mouth and then diagonally to form a flap on each side, both flaps and the body of envelope being secured to gether by a fastener passing through them all as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
